I have scheduled my surgery in March with Dr. Gerald Kirshenbaum. Can anyone tell me anything about him? I actually live in Kansas and his self-pay price is worth it to fly out 2 or 3 times for the procedure. I was hoping that someone could tell me about him.
Thanks!

I had my band put in by Dr. K five days ago. I live in Maryland but decided to go to Denver to get this done because I am self pay, but also because he is a very experienced surgeon. You are definitely in good hands with Dr. K and his staff.

What I would suggest is that you run a search for "Kirshenbaum" You will find a thread or two with a lot of recent information. I think it will answer many of your questions. Mainly, though, I would say you should feel confident that you are in good hands.

Hi!

I get my band with Dr. K tomorrow. It looks like you found our Considering Dr. K thread. I've tried to post as much info on there as possible, so others can learn about him. Let me know if you have any questions. btw.. I am from WI.:)

I had my surgery with Dr. K 9 days ago. I thought that he and his staff were wonderful! My mom went with me and she thought that he was the best Dr. she had ever met in her life. He is easily accessible, answers ?'s almost immediately, calls you back, he is really great!
